ARTISTS
Hopeless Painters: Leningrad/Petersburg Painting
23 Mar, 2018 - 14 May, 2018
The term 鈥渉opeless painters鈥� is not a new one; it was coined around twenty years ago, when the artistic elite deemed painting irrelevant, while we kept on insisting on its necessity in people鈥檚 lives. Things are a little different now: the conceptual art has somewhat withered; there are young people who feel sympathetic towards painting and the hopelessness in its negative sense has disappeared from the term. What is left is just a hopeless love of painting. The artists in this group are very different; they belong to different traditions, have different ambitions and education, different genders and ages. They share one obvious thing in common: that is a hopeless preference of painting over everything else.
